Vasomedical Announces a New Strategic Alliance with Living Data Technology Corp.
Vasomedical, Inc., ("Vasomedical”)
(OTC: VASO.OB), a leader in the noninvasive treatment and management of
cardiovascular diseases, announced today that it has entered into an
alliance and business arrangement with Living Data Technology
Corporation and its affiliates ("Living Data”)
in which Kerns Manufacturing Corp. ("Kerns”),
an affiliated company of Living Data, made a $1.5 million equity
investment in Vasomedical through the purchase of common stock. In
addition, Vasomedical has an option to sell an additional $1.0 million
of its common stock to Kerns, subject to certain terms, restrictions and
conditions. Vasomedical and Living Data have also entered into
agreements that grant Vasomedical exclusive right to market and
distribute Living Data’s external
counterpulsation (ECP) systems in the United States and grant Living
Data exclusive right to manufacture and supply products to Vasomedical.
The arrangement also provides for the appointment of two representatives
of Living Data to Vasomedical’s Board of
Directors, including Simon Srybnik, Chairman of both Kerns and Living
Data.
"This transaction offers us the opportunity to
expand our patient base for this important medical treatment,”
remarked Vasomedical’s newly appointed
president and chief executive officer Dr. John CK Hui. "With
the new capital infusion, together with our recently restructured
management team, plus the addition of Living Data and Kern’s
business expertise, we can begin to execute a new marketing and sales
plan. It is our goal in the coming months to achieve greater market
penetration, to demonstrate renewed revenue growth, and to increase
shareholder value.” "We are extremely excited about the future of
Vasomedical,” remarked Mr. Abraham E Cohen,
chairman of the Board of Directors of Vasomedical. "With
additional capital, a new strategic alliance partner who has proven
expertise in the innovative mobile ECP system from Living Data, combined
with our existing products with proven clinical effectiveness, we are
ready to expand our market and continue to be the leader of this
noninvasive, effective, and cost efficient therapy for patients
suffering from ischemic heart disease.” "I am a true believer in external
counterpulsation therapy, and I have personally benefited from using
this noninvasive treatment regime,” commented
Mr. Simon Srybnik. "This alliance of two companies with great track
records will create a synergy that combines the engineering and
manufacturing expertise of Living Data with the leadership and
reputation of Vasomedical, a company well qualified to market a product
that is needed to prolong and improve the quality of life for patients
across a broad spectrum of debilitating illnesses. I am confident that
together we can bring the best products and services to the market,
while at the same time increasing shareholder value. Vasomedical is a
pioneer in the field and offers the only clinical evidence-based line
worldwide. We will support Vasomedical as it expands its market presence
and leadership and are open to exploring additional acquisitions and
other strategic relationships.”

About Vasomedical, Inc. and EECP®
Therapy
Vasomedical, Inc. develops, manufactures and markets EECP®
therapy systems to deliver its proprietary form of enhanced external
counterpulsation therapy. EECP®
therapy is a noninvasive, outpatient therapy used in the treatment of
ischemic cardiovascular diseases, currently used to manage chronic
stable angina and heart failure. The therapy increases blood flow and
oxygen supply to the heart muscle and other organs and decreases the
heart's workload and need for oxygen. Function of the endothelium, the
inner lining of blood vessels throughout the body, is also improved,
lessening resistance to blood flow. These actions reduce or eliminate
symptoms of angina and heart failure, and improve exercise performance
and quality of life for thousands of people worldwide. For more
